The International Association of Licensed Chaplains (IALCC) was formed in 2009 with the aim of helping pastors master behavioral health and pursue counseling within the body of Christ. It is an international organization that provides professional membership to chaplains and liaison officers from different faith groups and law enforcement agencies.

key Criteria for Selecting and Appointing Police Chaplains:

​

Police chaplains play a vital role in supporting law enforcement officers, their families, and communities. While specific statistics are not provided in the search results, we can highlight several key facts and implications:

1. Critical Need: Police officers experience an average of 188 critical incidents during their careers, any of which could be psychologically devastating to civilians. This underscores the crucial need for chaplain support.
2. Unique Position: Chaplains are uniquely suited to address many challenges in communicating resiliency within law enforcement culture. They can build trust and relationships that mental health professionals may struggle to establish.

A "main badge" often refers to a primary insignia that signifies rank, position, or a significant achievement within the organizational structure. This badge holds a higher status compared to other badges. and is held by HRM Dr. Edmund Keli' Silva.

The main badge of the International Association of Licensed Commissioned Chaplains (IALCC) at Harvest Christian University serves as a symbol of authority and status, often overshadowing other badges in terms of recognition and importance. This primary insignia represents the highest level of chaplaincy certification and authority within our organization. The hierarchy established by this main badge is governed by clear regulatory frameworks that dictate how and where it should be displayed. This ensures clarity in rank and role within our chaplaincy contexts, similar to military organizational structures.​
